Chapter 168 No Choice
After staring at the messy pile under the oilcloth, and looking at all kinds of steel parts that he didn't know what they were for for a long time, the complicated expression on Ankelu's face finally returned to calm, and he turned his head and nodded to Hart. : "Captain Hart, please convey my gratitude to Chairman Xu, I will always remember his great help to me."
Hart said with a blank expression: "The chairman explained before leaving that this is just a very ordinary transaction, and everyone gets what they need."
Uncle was slightly taken aback, paused, then frowned and pointed to the messy pile of parts under the tarpaulin and asked, "But I have a question. Captain Hart, why do the parts of these magic trebuchets look so small? If assembled, the specifications will be much smaller, right?"
"This is the second-generation magic trebuchet newly developed by our chamber of commerce. Although the size is much smaller than the first-generation magic trebuchet, its ejection power is not weak at all, but has been enhanced. It is stronger than the first-generation magic trebuchet. And because it is small, it is extremely convenient to carry. You see, it only needs a freight magic locomotive to transport it." Hart explained.
"That's it." Ankelu glanced at the parts of the magic trebuchet again, still having some doubts. "But how does this thing fit together? None of us can."
Hart took out a thin booklet from his pocket and handed it to Uncle.
"There is a schematic diagram of the assembly of the magic trebuchet, as well as maintenance points for the magic repeated crossbow and those weapons and armor. After you transport these things back, you must study them carefully. Otherwise, if it is because of your own Failure caused by improper operation. Our Chamber of Commerce will not provide follow-up maintenance services.”
Uncle took the booklet. But he didn't look through it, but continued to ask: "President Hart, why don't you just provide a technician to help us guide these things? Wouldn't it be much more convenient?"
Hart shook his head: "Master President said that the transaction between us is just a normal transaction. If you send someone there, it will be to personally participate in the internal affairs of your Principality of Standing. unwilling."
Ankelu was silent for a while, then nodded slightly.
"President Xu is very thoughtful. But..." Ankelu looked at the ten magic freight locomotives. A self-deprecating wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Actually, now you are equivalent to getting involved..."
Hart was silent.
Angru was in a daze for a moment, took a breath, and regained his spirits.
"Okay, Captain Hart, I have confirmed the acceptance of these goods, now let's harvest."
Hart nodded, took out the list of goods for Uncle to look over, and after Uncle confirmed, he took an agreement signed by Uncle from Uncle.
The content of this agreement is an agreement for Ankelu to transfer an iron mine and a magic crystal mine on his territory to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
According to the content of the agreement, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will have the permanent mining rights of this iron ore and magic crystal mine.
in other words. Since then, this iron ore and magic crystal mine have been completely owned by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and have nothing to do with Ankelu and the Principality of Standing.
these two mines. Naturally, it was used by Ankelu to pay for the purchase of these weapons and equipment from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Although it was only the goods of ten magic motorcycles, the total value reached 200,000 gold coins.
Among them, the new magic trebuchet alone is worth 10,000 gold coins.
And there are a total of 300 sets of magic crossbows on the two magic locomotives. If they are matched with arrow boxes, the price of each set is as high as 400 gold coins, and 300 sets are 120,000 gold coins.
As for the remaining 1,000 sets of weapons and armor, they are only worth 70,000 gold coins.
In fact, the estimated value of these two mines far exceeds two hundred thousand gold coins, or even no less than three hundred thousand gold coins.
But it is impossible for Ankelu to come up with so much cash, so of course he can only use resources to exchange for what he needs from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
If there is a choice, Ankelu does not want to sell the resources under his name, because he knows the importance of resources to the future development of the Duchy of Standing.
But he has no choice.
Because if you want to achieve the goal in your mind, you have to spend money, and you need to spend a lot of money.
Seeing that under Hart's command, his subordinates loaded all the goods on the ten magic freight locomotives onto the boat he brought, Angklu's expression was complicated, his eyes were full of worry, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was full of bitterness. .
"I hope that the sacrifice now will bring good results in the end, otherwise, I might become the eternal sinner of the Principality."
###
Angklu is full of worries about the uncertain future because of his own choice, but the people of Bangta City are full of joy and excitement because of the bright future at this time, and they are welcoming the arrival of the New Year with the greatest enthusiasm one by one.
Another year has passed, and since Her Royal Highness Princess Seweigny took over as the city lord of Banta City in the second half of the year, the entire city of Banta City seems to have regained its vitality and enthusiasm, changing the lifelessness of Earl Stark when he was the city lord .
In just half a year, the entire Bangta City not only fully restored its previous prosperity, it was even much more lively than before.
As the magic industry led by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has gradually gained popularity in Bangta City, and has drawn many people in Bangta City into this industry, everyone can easily go up and down in Bangta City. Find a satisfying job with ease, enough to make yourself comfortable, and even enjoy a slightly extravagant life that was unimaginable a few years ago.
For example, if you didn't buy something before due to lack of cash or various reasons, you will naturally have to take this opportunity to make up for it at an important moment like the New Year.
So when the new year was approaching, the sales of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's household magic machinery department experienced a blowout.
The sales in one week alone are enough to equal the combined sales in the previous two months.
According to statistics, in the last short week, Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's sales of household magic machines alone reached an astonishing 500,000 gold coins.
And because Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has consistently high profits. So in just one week. The Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is only on household magic machines. The net income exceeded 300,000 gold coins.
If it was three years ago, Xu Yi would have danced with joy when he saw such profit statistics, and couldn't help himself.
However, after seeing this number now, Xu Yi found that he didn't feel anything at all. Instead, he tried to find out if there were any mistakes and omissions from this number and the various statistics that came with it, and whether there was anything that could be strengthened. .
No way, according to the annual statistics. This year's Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's annual total profit has even exceeded an astonishing 10 million gold coins, so how can Xu Yi feel happy at a mere 300,000 to 300,000 gold coins?
Of course, the more you earn, the more you spend.
Although the total profit of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce this year is extremely astonishing, the various input expenditures are also astonishing.
Aside from the annual salary of more than three million gold coins, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce began to invest in the construction of production bases in many cities because of the implementation of the development and expansion strategy in the second half of this year. As well as the large amount of investment in Sewell City in the last two months, the total investment has exceeded five million gold coins.
In this way, by the end of the year. In fact, the current account balance of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is nothing more than a million gold coins.
Compared with the current scale of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, this amount of money is actually nothing at all. So much so that when the financial director Sebastian made the year-end summary report, he kept complaining to Xu Yi and kept reminding him that he hoped that he could pay attention to the balance of fiscal revenue and expenditure next year to avoid the first deficit of the chamber of commerce.
However, Xu Yi just smiled at his warning and didn't care at all.
The reason why the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has spent so much this year is entirely because of the development and expansion policies he has determined.
And when the production bases in various places are basically established next year and officially put into production, these investments will be transformed into huge profits.
At that time, it is not surprising that Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's profit will be much higher than it is now, even several times higher.
More importantly, the layout of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can be basically established, and it will no longer be so easily affected by changes in one city and one place in the future. There are ways to deal with any situation, so that it will not be targeted by any nobleman. become very passive.
"Ordinary nobles of course dare not target you or the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce now, because the father has clearly expressed his attitude through the last noble council incident, and no noble will take the risk of offending the father to do this. matter."
Sevini looked at Xu Yi, who was sitting on the chair with a relaxed look, and shook his head slightly.
"Xu Yi, to be honest, I really don't understand why you always look confident on the surface, but in fact you are always full of a sense of crisis? Tell me, why do you recruit so many people to be the guards of your chamber of commerce?" Team? Don’t tell me that you are just trying to enrich the guard force of your chamber of commerce.”
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "A lot? Not many, is it just that we recruited 500 more people? Compared with the guard team of the Falcao Chamber of Commerce, which even exceeds 2,000 people, the number of guards in our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Up to now, there are less than a thousand people, which is not too many at all."
Sevini glared at him: "Don't play dumb! Those elf guards, dwarf guards, and even the orc guards you recruited on the Black Rice Wasteland in your chamber of commerce, by the way, and the Standing you recruited in the Duchy of Standing The guards of the principality are not counted in the number of guards of your chamber of commerce. If they were all added up, there would probably be more than 2,000 people, right?"
Xu Yi looked up to the sky and made a haha, but didn't make any answer.
Seeing his reaction, Sevini was a little angry, patted the table lightly, frowned, raised his voice slightly, and shouted in an angry tone: "Xu Yi, those elves, dwarves, and orcs The combat power of the guards of the clan is much higher than that of ordinary human guards. If you really count combat power, the guards of your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce can even compare with an army of 5,000 people. What do you want to do?"
Seeing Sevini's serious expression, Xu Yi sighed and spread his hands: "Your Highness, I don't want to do anything, I just want to protect myself. You just said that no nobleman would dare to target me and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but what you said Among the nobles, I am afraid that His Royal Highness Prince Eric is not included, right?"
Sevini's eyebrows trembled slightly, he sighed lightly, and did not speak.
Taking Servini's reaction into his eyes, Xu Yi smiled slightly and continued: "Okay, Your Royal Highness, let's not discuss such meaningless things that everyone knows well? Let's discuss the business. Your five thousand Private guards, what kind of standard weapons and equipment do you want to equip?"
